Approx. 59" x 62" (octagonal / custom polygon format) A vibrant and energetic abstract painting by celebrated Seattle artist Camille Patha, a bold colorist known for her passionate use of color and dynamic, textured compositions. This large-scale work explodes in lush layers of hot pink, fuchsia, magenta, deep plum, and rich burgundy, accented with dramatic strokes of white, black, and gray. The thick, expressive impasto and sweeping gestural marks create a sense of movement and emotional depth, characteristic of Patha’s powerful, visceral style.

The unique octagonal canvas adds architectural interest and makes this piece a striking focal point—ideal for hanging above a modern console, in a contemporary living room, dining area, or gallery wall. Patha, who passed in 2023, enjoyed a long and distinguished career with exhibitions at institutions including the Tacoma Art Museum and a reputation for paintings that celebrate color, sensuality, and the joy of creation.
